Libraries in the News

The last few weeks have seen libraries in the news, both here in the US and in the UK.

In the US, President Obama nominated Dr. Carla Hayden to be the next Librarian of Congress. Dr. Hayden would be the first woman and the first African American to hold the position as well as one of the few with a library science degree. While library budgets are being cut around the country, this announcement has given the community something positive to talk about.
